Pear-Cut Pink Gemstone Halo Pendant in Yellow Gold

This jewelry item consists of a teardrop or pear-shaped pink gemstone set as a central focal point, surrounded by a classic halo of smaller, round brilliant-cut colorless stones. Based on visual characteristics, the central stone exhibits a vibrant baby-pink hue with a facet pattern suggestive of a synthetic pink sapphire, pink topaz, or pink cubic zirconia. The surrounding stones are likely small white topazes or cubic zirconias. The setting is constructed from yellow gold (likely 10k or 14k) or gold-plated metal. The pendant is suspended by a tapered polished gold bale attached to what appears to be a rope-style chain. The construction utilizes a traditional prong-set technique, with multiple small prongs securing both the center stone and the 14-stone halo. The condition appears fair to good, with some light surface scratches visible on the metal bale and slight dullness on the peripheral stones, suggestively from standard wear. No visible maker's marks are present in the provided view. Given the style, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to modern day, reflecting a timeless cluster-pendant design frequently used in birthstone or fashion jewelry.
